Question

I use android-sdk-r12m-r17m-linux.zip and android-ndk-r8-linux-x86.tar.bz2 to compile my android apk.

My compiling steps are:

   android update project -p . --target 2
   ndk-build APP_ABI=mips
   ant debug

The output apk works well on my mips platform.
However, after I try ndk-gdb, I get the following error.

   ERROR: The device does not support the application's targetted CPU ABIs!
   Device supports:  mips
   Package supports: armeabi

Answer 1

ndk-gdb reads APP_ABI from Application.mk file. Because you are passing APP_ABI on commandline and you probably have emptry Application.mk file, it assumes APP_ABI has default value armeabi.

Try creating Application.mk file and write inside APP_ABI := mips
